The PowerPlant Metal Halide retro-fit lamps run off High Pressure Sodium control gear, and are ideal for vigorous vegetative growth.
There is now no need to have two different ballasts, simply use the PowerPlant Metal Halide Retro lamp during vegetative growth, and change to the PowerPlant Super HPS for flowering, all using the same HPS ballast. This allows the grower to give the plants the perfect Grow (blue) spectrums and Bloom (red) spectrums for optimum plant growth, more compact plant structure and amazing high yields, while only needing one ballast.
